Day 3 of New York Fashion Week, per usual, fell on a Saturday, which also incurred a bit of train delays and walking — thank GOODNESS I had comfy clothes on! It was a big show day, taking in Monique Lhuillier, Herve Leger, Mara Hoffman, Adeam, and more, but I somehow managed it all with gusto. The trends are certainly beginning to surface, so stay tuned for trend reports coming shortly. In the meanwhile, here’s what I wore:

Happy Day 2 of Fashion Week! I decided to mix some mint and cranberry (a very “it” color for fall 2014) today, in clean lines that could be considered polished and sophisticated. I went for the wow factor with my jewels and shoes, which take a little careful consideration when matching shapes and colors.
I spent some time layering and adjusting the two necklaces I wore; each stunners on their own, placed together, they created an outstanding wow factor. Overall, I was REALLY into what I put together, feeling like myself, albeit a bit enhanced for fashion week!

has truly come into her own this season; the former J.Crew designer has honed in on what women want and need in their wardrobes, making each and every piece count, and seamlessly finding their way off of the runway and into closets, come fall/winter 2014. An honorable mention certainly goes to her footwear, versatile enough for any age and occasion.
But just because she showed a wearable collection, doesn’t by any means make it boring; the usage of luxe silk organza, Italian crepe, rich shearling and wool felt fresh in the loosely tailored shape of the moment, as well as the execution of a perfectly edited color palette, giving play to opulent pinks, reds, blue, navy plaid, white, grey and black. Webb is no longer one to watch, as she has certainly arrived with this collection.
